Keeps me informed and entertained

The content I subscribe to is geared towards educating me as a shop owner, but also as an enthusiast. These guys never fail to have a terrific article to entertain, or point me towards a new avenue. I enjoy staying abreast of the latest goings ons in the auto world, and this is my guide to do so.

Gives one global news and information

I live in South Africa and we do not have all, especially high end and super cars, available here, mainly because of exchange rate and taxes on these imported vehicles. It is therefore very informative to read the latest about these cars, as well as future models of cars heading to South Africa in future.

Great Site

I really enjoy the reviews of the cars. I feel they are fair and balanced unlike some sites that are clearly one sided.

Comprehensive

The title word says is best. If it is about cars it is usually at car connection.
I like the synoptic style. Just the facts. You can learn the relevant news in just a few minutes.

Great for Car Shopping and just reading about cars

I find this web site very true in their reviews to the experiences I have had when owning or driving the actual cars. I am a car junking. Sometimes I just go drive a new car to find out what is like to drive, etc. without ever meaning to buy the car. I also, of course, use it when purchasing a car. My last purchase was a 2013 BMW 328i sedan. Really like the car and felt the Car Connection review has been "spot on" to my own driving experience of the car.

VERY INFORMATIVE & INDEPENDENT

The Car Connection (TCC) is very informative, timely and independent.
TCC is a benchmark for comparative analysis, before I make my final decision.
Keep up the good work.

Thinks its great up to date information

I always take the time to take a look at the Car Connection. I don't read all the articles but many of them. I usually buy a new truck every 3 years so I find it keeps me up to date on what is going on. Safety recalls is a huge issue for me, its nice to get up to date information on this issue and how the different companies respond to their own safety deficiencies. You really get a better idea of where their priorities are. Great information source..Jim

Out Front on Most Anything Auto Related

I look forward to every update of The Car Connection. It's almost always the first place I find out about new models, safety test results, rankings of various topics, auto shows, recalls, driving test experiences, pricing topics, incentives, etc.. I've come to rely on TCC to give me the quick look to keep me up to date on just about all auto topics. I often forward articles to other members of my family when a topic directly impacts on models they may own or are considering buying.

Car Connection delivers the goods

I read it every day, it is always spot on. I would like to see a nod towards Canadian models now and again. It makes too much of a fuss about recalls, when these are widely reported elsewhere and could be short-formed here. I agree with the other chap that a bit more about the second-hand market would be interesting. Reviews of new cars in the UK always give expected depreciation so you can work out the real cost of ownership over a few years.

Focus on used performance bargains for the everyman

It's gotten so I won't even read the articles about new sic. expensive, cars that will only quickly depreciate and make the owner look like a fool for buying in the first place.. However; there are some really fun , easy to own cars from the past selling at a fraction of new, I.E. older mini coopers, Celica GTS, C5s, early BMW 3 series, cobalt SS etc. that can provide a Whoo Hoo experience without breaking the bank - This is what I want to read about - not out of reach dream cars which lose their value faster than a virgin hooker.

Used this site when making recent car purchase.

I found the extensiveness of the review of the 2015 Subaru Outback and Legacy highly useful in helping to make a decision when contemplating the purchase of a new car last Fall ( I chose the Legacy). I used a couple other sites as well but will use Car Connection in the future and would recommend it to others.

Because nobody gets five stars

The car connection mailing and website are timely, interesting and informative. Much deeper detail and broader in scope that most of my other sources for feeding my habit for automotive information.
